With Netflix having already served up The Witcher and Castlevania, and currently at work on two different Resident Evil shows, now comes word that the streaming juggernaut has another famed video game property in its sights.

To be executive produced by Mythic Quest’s Jason Altman and Ubisoft TV’s Danielle Kreinik, Netflix announced this news by dropping the following teaser clip:

At this early stage, it’s not yet known whether Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed will be an entirely original story, be based solely on the existing video games, or be a mixture of both original story and established tales.

From Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed began life back in 2007 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The overall premise of the series centres on an age-old battle between the free-thinking Assassins and the control-driven Templars, with the action taking place across a whole host of different time periods. To date, the video game franchise has amassed an impressive 12 main games and countless spin-offs in the gaming world and beyond.

An Assassin’s Creed TV show was first discussed by Netflix back in 2016, although those talks quickly went quiet. This was at the same time that Michael Fassbender headlined 20th Century Fox’s Assassin’s Creed movie – which certainly split opinion upon its release.

As ever, expect more on Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed series as we get it.
